Every Secret Thing - review

Years ago a baby was taken and later found dead with 2 young girls being convicted of her murder.

A few years later Ronnie & Alice are released from juvenile detention and back living in the same neighbourhood and when another toddler disappears in similar circumstances, Detective Nancy Porter (Elizabeth Banks) believes they may have had a hand in it.

With the movie darting between the past and present, you start to get a sense of what happened but don’t know which of the 2 girls actually committed the original murder and with each of them blaming the other during police interviews regarding the current abduction, it proves to be a difficult case to crack.

As Alice embraces her freedom and Ronnie throws herself into working in an attempt to forget her past, it’s easy to see why they would become instant suspects when history seems to repeat itself, but surely they can’t be guilty of both crimes?

This movie wasn’t as good as I’d hoped and to be honest I was bored way before it was halfway through.

It wasn’t the crime thriller I’d hoped it would be and I wasn’t gripped or particularly determined to see how it ended, but I stuck with it in the hope it would get better – unfortunately it didn’t.
